Today we had our second of three home study meetings with our social worker. This meeting: going over the autobiography questionnaire we had filled out. It was a chance to share about our lives, how we were raised, our views on parenting, etc. I am excited to be one step closer in our adoption adventure and am thankful for having a good relationship with our social worker.
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I thought I'd take the time to list a few more things I am thankful for in this adoption adventure.
1. First and foremost, I am thankful for God's presence every step of the way. From God putting adoption on our hearts, to providing for our financial needs, and everything in between, God has had a very real presence and provided us with a sense of peace.
2. I am also thankful for the gift of fellowship with our church small group specifically for adoptive or adopting families. It is a great way to be able to share in the highs and lows of the adoption adventure with people who really understand all things adoption.
3. I am delighted and thankful for the sweet and curious hearts of our two girls already in our home. Shannon and Amelia talk about the adoption daily and I love hearing them talk/ask questions about their future siblings.
4. And finally, I am thankful to be on this adoption adventure with my best friend and father of my children (current and future). I could not imagine tackling this adventure on my own.
